He was talking about the future of the Fire Emblem series, and whether or not any upcoming Smash Bros. games might include characters from that franchise.

"How much a character will please the players, how unique they are--there are a lot of factors that go into deciding a character's inclusion," he explained. "I don't know whether Fire Emblem will have many more games in the future, but it's not as if we have a stipulation that says, 'We have to include the protagonist of the next Fire Emblem game.' Moreover, we don't even know if there'll be another Smash game."
